Would you rather know every language, but switch to a random one after each sentence, or after each year (unable to speak a different language until the following year)?
Give your answers for the following cases:
- All languages are treated equally (so equal chance for any of them to be switched to)
- Languages are weighted based on number of first-language/native speakers (so Chinese is most likely, then English, etc.)
- Languages are weighted based on number of non-first-language/non-native speakers (so English would be most likely)
What is the point of knowing every language if I can’t use them? Option two is the less nightmarish.
I can see the first option as a Twilight Zone episode with the dude not realising of the random changes and going crazy when no one can understand him.
